Pinkfresh Studio - Shaped Cards and Fun with Vellum

Hello and Happy Friday everyone! I am on the Pinkfresh Studio blog and today I have two shaped cards with fun techniques using vellum. Did you know, it's so easy to foil using the press plates onto vellum? And that we can use Pinkfresh Studio inks to color onto vellum too. It doesn't take much time to dry but if you are in a hurry, simply heat set using the low heat setting.

I love using vellum on my cards and sponging ink to the edges gives beautiful glow to the cards.

For my first card I used the Festive Foliage press plate to foil the image using Matte Gold foil. Using the coordinating stencils, I added inks ( Grassy Knoll, Evergreen, Passion Fruit, Candy Apple, Turquoise, Paradise) to the image with the 1/2 inch blender brushes.

Next I used the new bigger blender brush and applied Waterfall ink to the outer edges. Die-cut two pieces of white cardstock using the biggest die from the new Blanket Stitched Octagons dies. Score half inch from the top of one piece, add adhesive to the scored part and adhere to the back of the second piece to create a shaped base. Adhere the vellum layer to a white cardstock.

Die-cut a lilac frame using the Blanket Stitched Octagons dies. Adhere to the card using 3d foam.

Stamp the sentiment, sprinkle gold embossing powder and heat set. Adhere the sentiment to the card.

For my second card I used the new Playful Petals press plate to foil the image using Matte Gold foil. Using the coordinating stencils, I added inks ( Grassy Knoll,, Summer Shower, Soft Lilac, Lavender, Candy Violet and Regal Kiss) to the image with the 1/2 inch blender brushes.

Foil and die-cut the sentiment. Adhere to the card.

As for the above card, create the shaped card and assemble everything. Hope you enjoyed the playful vellum.

Thank you for dropping by!

Pinkfresh Studio “Here for You” Release Blog Hop

Hello everyone! I am so excited to join Pinkfresh Studio "Here for You" release bloghop. This release has a lot of products for a variety of styles. And we have the new broader blending brushes too, which will make ink blending like butter :)

I have two cards for you today using the Playful Petals press plate, stamp, dies and coordinating stencils. This die is special as there is an extra die in it that cuts out just the larger flowers from the bouquet, which gives the option of popping them on the bouquet or use them as separate flowers. I have a card for you for tomorrows Instagram hop.

I started by sponging inks (Peach Fuzz, Coral Reef ) through the Overlapping Stencils, here I used only the stencil no.1 from the back side. Use press plate with the detail black ink for the beautiful effect. Create two panels, sponge inks. Out of the second panel, die-cut the three flowers only. 

 

 

Adhere the floral bouquet to the sponged layer. Adhere the 3 flowers using 3d foam. 

Stamp and white emboss the image onto vellum. Use part of the image behind the main image.

Adhere the panel to a peach cardbase. Add sentiment to finish the card.

For the second card I used the Dainty Floral Frame press plate onto white card to get the embossed look. 

Next, foil the image using the Playful Petals press plate with matte gold foil. Add color using the coordinating stencils. Die-cut using the Nested Elongated Ovals die. Use the Nested Elongated Ovals press plate to foil and die-cut using the dies to create the frame. 

Adhere the frame to the image using 3 d foam and adhere this to the card. Add the layer to a light peach cardstock.

Hope you enjoyed the cards. Don't forget to hop on the Instagram hop for a fun twist to this new feature of the die.

Pinkfresh Studio - Fun Fold Card

 Hello friends! I am on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with a happy and fun Floral gatefold card. I decided to use the Never Give Up stamp/ Dies/ Stencils, Joyful Day stamps/ Dies and the Ornate Trellis Press Plate/ Die for this card.

I started by an 8.5 by 5.5 inches white cardbase. Score at 2 and 1/8th inch mark on both the sides horizontally. Crease the fold and we have an gatefold cardbase.

Next sponge two panels using Mint, Ocean Breeze, Soft Lilac, Sparkling Rose and Passion Fruit inks. Take the first panel as using the Ornate Trellis press plate give the impression. Die-cut this using the coordinating die. Cut this panel in half and adhere to both the folds using 3d foam. Adhere the second panel to the inside of the card.

Stamp the floral image from the Never Give Up stamp using Detail Black ink. Use the stencils and the same ink colors as we used above to add colors using the 1/2 inch blender brushes. Die-cut the image using coordinating dies. Die-cut the image one more time using the Champagne Glitter Cardstock. Adhere the image to the glitter cut slightly offset.

Adhere this image the the left side of the card panel with 3d foam.

Stamp the leaves from Joyful Day stamp set onto vellum using the Calico White ink, sprinkle white embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere behind the main floral image.

Stamp the sentiment, Adhere to a black die-cut slightly off set onto the right side panel.

Hope you got inspired. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - Watercolor Rainbow Card

Hello friends! I am back on the Pinkfresh Studio blog with some fun and easy water-coloring in rainbow colors. I could make two cards using the images from one stamp set and that really is a time saver.

To start, I created the background using yellow and pink watercolors. I kept the color concentration towards the edges for an ombré effect. Once dry, I die-cut a white card using the Elongated Lattice Coverplate die. Adhere to the panel using 3d foam. 

Die-cut a vellum circle using the circle die from the Mini Slimline Essential Bundle. Stamp the images from the Peony Fantasy stamp set onto watercolor paper using watermark ink. Sprinkle opaque white embossing powder and heat set.

 To color, apply water using a brush to one image at a time, add touch of watercolor in rainbow colors. Let it dry and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Stamp the sentiment with Detail Black ink from the Joyful Day stamp set, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Assemble the images and the sentiment using 3d foam.

Since, I had some colored images, I decided to make another card. 

Create a light background color wash using pink and blue watercolor. Die-cut the Ornate Circle from a white panel and adhere to the background panel using 3d foam.

Adhere the images and the sentiment with 3d foam and add this panel to a light yellow cardbase.

Hope you give this a try and have fun with watercolors. I used the watercolors from pinkfresh studio, which will be coming soon but you can also use watercolors from any brand. I like the one from Altenew too, which I have linked below. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

 

Pinkfresh Studio - Stencil Two Ways

 Hello everyone! I am so happy to be on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with two fun ways to use the new Border Stencils. I paired them with Cheers stamp, dies and stencils. There are so many techniques the stencils can be used for, so they are quite versatile.

The theme for June challenge is Ombré/ Gradients, so I decided to keep my theme based on that.

Sponge Lemon Whip, Marigold, Sparkling Rose and Raspberry Bliss inks onto white card layer using the horizontal stripes border from the stencils.To get a nice and crisp effect, I used the 1/2 inch blender brushes for this process.

Next, use the Twist Pattern press plate without ink to get subtle texture onto the stenciled piece. Die-cut using the co-ordinating dies. Make sure to keep all the negative pieces. Adhere the twisted pattern to a white layer using re-position adhesive and add the negative pieces to the white panel. Add 3d foam to the twist pattern and adhere.

Stamp the images and sentiment  from the Cheers stamp set using Detail Black ink. Sponge the images using Lemon Whip, Marigold, Sparkling Rose, Raspberry Bliss, Waterfall, Grassy Knoll, Olive inks through the co-ordinating stencils. Die-cut using the co-ordinating dies. Adhere to the card. I also added some vellum leaves die-cut from the Curvy Leaves dies. To finish, I added nuvo crystal glaze to the ice and some Ice clear drops to the card.

I created another card by using the diagonal stripes to create a pattern.

Sponge Seaside, Waterfall, Key Lime through the stencil. Wipe the stencil and turn it upside down and sponge Sparkling Rose, Apricot, Lemon Whip inks to create the pattern, wipe the stencil.

Next, cover the inked stripes by slightly moving the stencil, apply nuvo glimmer paste through the stencil, let dry. Die-cut a vellum circle from the Mini Slimline Essenential Bundle and create the cluster using the images from the Cheers stamp set. Adhere to the card.

Stamp the sentiment from the Happy Vibes stamp, die-cut  using the Happy Vibes dies. To finish, I added some vellum leaves.

 Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Sunny Studio - Happy Birthday

Hello everyone, I am on the Sunny Studio blog today with a happy, CAS, rainbow theme card featuring the Stitched Square dies. This card can easily be masculine theme and by changing the colors, we can make it more feminine or monochromatic. 

I started by die-cutting the small squares using the 2nd. smallest die from various colors of cardstock. Next I used two of the bigger dies and created a white frame to make all the squares look as one focal image.

Stamp the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings onto black card using versamark ink, sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder, heat set. Cut the sentiment in a stripe and adhere in the center using foam tape. Adhere this piece to a grey mat layer and then onto white cardbase. I stamped the butterfly onto vellum from the Watering Can stamp set, sprinkle white embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
